This specification covers a corrosion- and heat-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, mechanical tubing, and flash welded rings up to 5.00 inches (127 mm), inclusive, in nominal diameter or least distance between parallel sides (thickness) and stock for forging, flash welded rings, or heading of any size.
Rationale:
AMS5731M is the result of a Five-Year Review and update of the specification. The revision revises the Title to match the Scope, clarifies size limits and prohibits exceptions (see 1.1, 3.5.4, 3.8, 4.4.2, 5.2.1.1, and 8.7), updates composition testing and reporting (see 3.1 and 3.1.1), limits cutting bar from larger products (see 3.3.1.1.3 and 4.4.3), adds option for continuous heat treatment (see 3.4.1), updates tensile test requirements including strain rate control during testing (see 3.5.1.2.1), adds quality requirements (see 3.6.1 and 8.5), provides for forging stock properties (see 4.4.4 and 8.8), updates packaging (see 5.3), and allows the use of prior revisions.
